Waterford Boat Club crews shine in Fermoy

Great results for local rowers in North Cork
Waterford Boat Club crews shine in Fermoy

The Waterford BC MJ13 4x team of Hugh, Leon, Mads, Ben and Toby.

The Fermoy Regatta took place recently, the day after the 1K Classic up in Lough Rinn.

Our J14 and J15 crews from the 1K rejoined the rest of the club for Fermoy where the club had 30 entries across a single day with heats and finals in most events which made for an extremely busy day for all of our crews.

Fermoy Regatta is a sprint regatta and is held over a three lane 500 metre course on The Blackwater through the centre of Fermoy which makes for an excellent location and hugely enjoyable atmosphere every year. This would be the final event of the season for our J13-J15 crews and would act as a final tune-up for our J16-J18 crews for the upcoming 2024 National Championships down in the NRC between the 15th-17th July.

An early start was needed for everyone.
